Lets think first about some ifs: 1)If this is an administration cut with its trousers down, it is not that serious. They reassert themselves in due time. BUT 2) If this is an administration using a smoke screen to hide a lot of skeletons that were inside the cup boards, then, my friend we are all fucked. In case Nr. 1, when Village Idiot discovers that he is going to pay for the whole folly, once he starts feeling on his pocket the costs of all this, then he'll not be so accommodating to this administration's purposes. In case Nr. 2 is much more serious. If the situation was untenable and this administration is using this as an scape goat, the writing is in the wall. The US is in fact closing down its economy. It is rolling back barriers. Good bye globalisation. Good bye open markets. This means they will not raise a wall around it. But it will put a toll gate there and everyone trying to get into the US market has to pay tribute. Tribute disguised of "security" measures. This spells badly for Asians and Latin Americans whose main market is the US market. But it doesn't stop there the bad news. Euroland will reciprocate. And I can tell you there are lots of people in West Europe that would love a closed market. If this has an effect in Foreign Direct Investment, we are in fact kissing good bye to world economy growth. This will be the world economy pre-1960. As you see the scenarios can get quite complicated given this non-declared intentions. Stagflation: In a few places but not overall. Mainly in the developed world. hedonism: Will cool down. Somber prospects in the horizon. unemployment: will shoot up in the US to 10%. Pseudo jobs will be paid by the US government. war: Not the typical prolonged type. reasons: There are not much in the arsenals for fighting a prolonged. Besides what is in store can do the killing that previously required a long one. extremism: Extremism cold get a photo in the front page. Now it get round the clock coverage. Expect more of it. official lies: More lies will come out soon after there will be the first fight for the spoils. unofficial intervention: Intervention with care thrown to the winds. How comes those guys acted so fast? How did they get those Plan B so fast out? and manipulation: Happening under our eyes every day. Only now it is blatant. Its more than blatant. It is an offence to our intelligence!
